All the kids that think the Dashboard Confessional is all the rage and are too young to know what Chris Carrabba used to be like, are missing out. Today I am featuring Further Seems Forever, the band Chris Carrabba was in before he started Dashboard. I used to LOVE Dashboard, I will admit it. I went to see them back in 2002 at Bricks aka In The Venue and it was a great show with The Anniversary and Ben Kweller. Yes, awesome line-up, I know!! Sometimes I long for the days of smaller shows and tickets that cost $12 and shows that had 3 or 4 awesome bands in the line-up. Now I am too impatient for that and every time I see a small band come through town and they are charging $30 a ticket, I want to scream. But I guess that's what happens when the economy is crappy, they start charging more?.... ironic isn't it? I digress.

So Chris Carrabba was the singer from 1998-2001. Then left to concentrate wholly on Dashboard Confessional- enter Jason Gleason, he was the singer from 2002-2004. I actually really enjoyed the change for this band and the new feel that it gave the songs plus I could get my Carrabba fix through Dashboard {which, essentially, was a solo project at that time}. But then they fought and Jason left the band.

They then got another new singer, Jon Bunch from Sensefield, and I didn't like the new sound that much so I stopped listening and then in 2006 they broke up... As is the story with many good bands.
Enjoy!!
